Not necessarily! Smart phones do have the option of clock faces though there’s always a digital backup.

Now imagine a clock with Roman numerals.

I thought ‘clockwise’ was just an intelligent clock.

Bit like Port and starboard ..

lefty loosey, righty tight

I worked with a woman who called screwdrivers plus & minus.

I actually had this fear back in the late 70s-early 80s when digital watches became affordable. Fearful, because it was going to be tough teaching physics if clockwise and counterclockwise (or anti-clockwise) didn’t make sense to students.

I once wore a disney Goofy watch that had hands that turned counter clockwise. It took a couple of weeks to get used to reading the clock backwards. I was surprised when a 4 year old in my lap looked at it and recognized that the hands ran backwards. Most kids her age didn’t even realize what a wrist watch was.

And we’ll have our own secret code of cursive

Interestingly the last time I saw the Doomsday clock, a week of so ago, it’s still analog. Seeing 11:58 just isn’t the same as seeing the hands almost closed.

Not soon.. now

One of my daughters skipped second grade where they taught how to read analog clocks. It was quite a while before figured out she couldn’t read the time without her digital watch

We could always go back to sunwise and widdershins.

how about a 2 dollar bill…
